That is not the correct price, realistically. The correct price is US$749.
That is still not a cheap phone by any stretch but it is a lot less than US$1999.
If you are in the US and you are made of money then you might put US$1250 value in having the same phone (Librem 5) but assembled in the US.
If you are in Canada (as you appear to be) and you are made of money then you might put US$1250 value in having the same phone (Librem 5) but assembled in the US.
Place of assembly might be important for: security reasons, environmental reasons, labor market reasons, …
Only you can decide that.
My personal take would be … if I worked in an industry in the US which had the highest security requirements (defense, aerospace, intelligence, …) and it is a business expense then yes go for the “assembled in the US” (USA Edition) phone otherwise I would accept the small additional risk of “assembled in China”, while still getting most of what I want (open source, modular, Linux-based phone etc.) and supporting the overall project and mission.
You mean zero seconds? When it’s a lie from the outset?
